[ The Guide is sitting on a nearby table in the hangar, giving viewers an eyeful of skinny, oddly jointed green legs sticking in the air as Stork is headfirst inside what looks to be a large duct. The occasional scrape of metal and muttering can be heard from within, and various tools are scattered around ( Read more... )

[ Suspicious....... But it's hard to make much out of a video feed. ]

Is that your ship?

[ Stork's head pops out of the vent at the voice and the word "ship" -- he sounds greatly annoyed ]

No, because someone said my ship was here in the hangar and it's not here in the hangar, so I am putting together a timepulse locator because someone has neglected to have such an obviously critical tool down here!

[ O...kay.... ]

Well it's not like anyone knew for sure! That's just where those kinds of things go, along with those... giant robots or whatever. Geeze.... Anyway, is that thing really going to work?

[video] is_paranoid July 26 2011, 05:16:01 UTC

Of course! Everything I build works perfectly!

[ pffft ]

[video] wantstolive July 26 2011, 05:45:39 UTC

You mean you don't make any mistakes?

[video] is_paranoid July 26 2011, 13:51:08 UTC

Huh? I make mistakes, but I fix them. AND they always make my inventions better!

[video] wantstolive July 27 2011, 17:40:38 UTC

...But if everything you build works perfectly, there shouldn't be any mistakes to fix. Right? Same for making your inventions better. If they were already perfect....

Re: [video] is_paranoid July 27 2011, 17:42:48 UTC

First I make them work perfectly, THEN I make them better! New features! Added benefits! BETTER FUEL EFFICIENCY.

That kind of thing.

[video] wantstolive July 27 2011, 17:55:31 UTC

Hmmm....

[ Somewhat unconvinced. ]

Why not just add those in the first place?

[video] is_paranoid July 30 2011, 02:20:17 UTC

I forgot. I said my stuff is perfect, not me.

[video] wantstolive July 30 2011, 02:54:29 UTC

But if you're not perfect, how can you build something that is?

[ Though he doesn't say it aloud, he -is- rather impressed Stork admitted he wasn't perfect out loud. He's unused to people admitting flaws like that. ]

[video] is_paranoid July 30 2011, 03:59:57 UTC

There's a human saying about sums and parts, I can't remember it right now. But perfect things can only be made, so you have to start somewhere.

[video] wantstolive July 31 2011, 21:01:11 UTC

So what you're trying to say is that perfect things are made up of imperfect things.

Re: [video] is_paranoid August 1 2011, 02:20:19 UTC

I guess I am, yeah.
